March of the Fire Ants cover

Recorded this a week or two ago, I'm very pleased with the end result. Unlike my last video, this one has a backing track (yay), AND this time I almost sorted out the clipping problem (also kickass), but I think I may have used too much gain, cause the low riffs in the second interlude (the heavy one right after the melodic one, I played it really sloppily) are pretty fuzzy . (FUUUU)

Full view cam is rhythm guitar (Bill Kelliher), volume 100%
Top left cam is lead guitar (Brent Hinds), volume 110%
Tuning is a weird-ass dropped-bottom D standard variant Mastodon used a lot on the first two albums (A G C F A D)

Stuff I used:

'58 Reissue Epiphone Explorer
Line 6 POD Studio UX1
D'Addario 10-52 gauge strings
Stagg 0.84 mm bass pick
Planet Waves circuit-breaker cable
Guitar Pro tabs
GearBox
iTunes
iMovie

@FinalFight323 bit cocky for a 12 year old arent ya.

[FinalFight323]

@Respecttoallmahomies Fourteen, thirteen when this was done. And not cocky, just saying perhaps you ought to put your money where your mouth is, no doubt yours will be better than mine seeing as you've been playing for however many years and I'd only been playing a year when I did this.

[Respecttoallmahomies]

you killed it. i might even post a video just to make you look shit. well done.

[FinalFight323]

@Respecttoallmahomies Might means nothing. Do it.

[locoberzerker]

Too distorted.

I also have a request learn the power rangers theme song you'd be a legend in my book.

[tweakweak]

I must say good job.

[timelord1001]

bet half the guys that comment this wouldnt be able to play this good at the age he was then so get the fuck over it if he does a bad job

[WorldWar3]

Song is played incorrectly at many spots, left hand needs work: you need to build up more strength in it and work on your hammer ons/pull offs. picking and timing sound sloppy...practice to a metronome to build this up and develop a quicker more accurate right hand response. Keep playing and practicing and you'll get better

@LessthanJake14 no, if i was to say "this is shit, i want to fuck your mother and and close her pussy permanently with a staple gun", that would be trolling. i dont really give a fuck what people say, but i'd be lying if i said i didnt want an interesting response. you have a nice day now.

[LessthanJake14]

@Respecttoallmahomies Criticism is "too much distortion, technique could be improved". Criticism is not "KILLED IT. NOW FUCKING DIE". That's called trolling and just proves you're a slave.

[LessthanJake14]

Quite good, needs a bit more action to make it sound better sonically. But for such an age, ace.

[LessthanJake14]

@Respecttoallmahomies Should teach you to NOT be a cunt, then.

Do it already, you juvenile troll.

[Respecttoallmahomies]

@FinalFight323 i dont exactly see the point in you posting this video in the first place. sure, i will post a response when i have the time. loosen the tone, be prepared to face critics, and get a sound card hhahaha
